| Tranquility 2 Red Couch |
Tranquility #2 (Red Couch) - is second in a series of 5 Embellished Fabric Collage
interiors. 38"X 28"
The ruby red couch invites the viewer into a living room made of various materials
such as silk and suede. Tapestry and the fireplace contains embroidery and
appliqué, Shadings throughout are executed with fabric and acrylic paint. Looking in
the background, see a watercolor out the "window". It is a winter scene of the
artist's childhood home in Buffalo, New York. The glass tabletop is organza, which
allows viewing through it to the prior layers, much as transparent paint does. The
piece took almost a month to complete.
Although the photos shows the overall embellished fabric collage looking like a
painting, texture and depth is much more interesting when seen in its original form.
If you plan to visit the Las Vegas-Henderson, Nevada area, call to ask where the
studio originals can be viewed. (661) 343-1639.
2009- Drina's "Red Couch" won "Best of Show" at the 29th annual "Celebrating
Life" Charleston Heights Art Center in Las Vegas. Following this show 7-14-09,
"Red Couch" went to the Las Vegas City Hall until September 27, 2009. Prior to
2009, this piece also won several prizes in California exhibits.
